ABOUT YOUR INSTRUCTOR
Meet Jacqueline
Hi, I’m Jacqueline Widdis—a military spouse, product manager in big tech, and LinkedIn nerd who rebuilt a career after a nearly 20-year break from full-time work.
I used to be so intimidated by networking. I thought everyone else had more to offer than a stay-at-home Mom ever could. I heard people say you had to network to get to work, but I had no idea how to start. Then I discovered how to build real connections on my own terms.
That approach helped me create a repeatable system that would have shortened my job search, helped me grow in confidence, and built a thriving network of professionals who want to help others succeed.
🎯 Returned to full-time tech after a nearly 20-year fulltime career gap
💼 Landed a role at Microsoft through networking (and brief skill refresh)
👩🏫 Mentored 1,000+ job seekers and professionals on LinkedIn, within Microsoft, and in partnership with veteran and military spouse placement organizations.
🎤 Featured in live events, webinars, and podcasts on career growth
🤝Built a LinkedIn network to 9,000 followers and connections
🛠️Built a thriving community of empowered job seekers and career professionals.

STILL GOT QUESTIONS?
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this course still help me if I'm shy or introverted?
Absolutely! 1000% I am a recovering shy girl, so I know EXACTLY what it's like to be terrified of reaching out. I never dreamed I would be doing anything like this!
If I don't know anyone on LinkedIn, can I still be successful?
That is what this course is designed to deliver. If I could go back to day 1, I would have built a strategic network rather than adding people I had not seen since high school. From day one, you will be plugged into like-minded, kind individuals ready to support one another towards professional growth.
What sets this course apart from other networking courses?
I always say being a military spouse made me "Never forget what it was like to be new somewhere." This course is built with heart first and embraces you from day one to give practical, small steps. This process will help you grow your network and your confidence at the same time. You will get access to live mentorship events, workshops, and career resources. You are not just investing in a video course. You are investing in your future support network.
